Absurdities of Life

I came across a fellow artist and blogger who creatively uses a wide range of media for her figurative, allegorical and symbolic art. She plays with images and drawings highlighting the absurdities of our contemporary world.

Gillian Holding says, "My art practice engages with the often absurd and contradictory aspects of modern society, highlighted by shifting perceptions and alternative views of what constitutes 'reality'. Anything and everything may come under scrutiny, from the chaotic daily confusion of my domestic life through to broader geopolital issues of conflict and resolution."

About Me

The flow of the water and pigments on paper fascinates me. Painting with watercolors is a blend of spontaneity and control and freedom. Each act of painting begins with the thought, “I wonder what will appear?” There is no formula to painting with watercolors. In the midst of painting an inner guidance says, some purple here, now.

Along with creating art, especially watercolor painting, I design workshops and classes with specific foci to explore the creative process through art media to foster self-awareness.

"Artistic expression lies in all of us and requires only a sense of trust and the freedom to allow the flowing for magic to happen."
